Howdy from Texas

[D.W.]

The intro nazi's cared not for my first attempt at hello so here goes again.My name is David Webber,3rd Gen. austin native(fuckin proud of it!),been lurkin for a while cause iv'e not got alot to shoot my mouth off about because I dont yet have an appropriate vehicle.The automotive Gods have blessed my wallet(well,a little anyway,been workin me ass off !)so I wanna say hello & impose upon you folks for advice,knowledge,beer & maybe a little beer.I am in the market for,yeah I know,who isnt,a 30-31 three window or 2 door sedan.Done a fair amount of footwork on this but my skills & budget keep me cautious.I'm great with the modern cars(Merc.Benz Tech) but still learning to weld & play with METAL.Anyhow,been after one of these rides since i can remember & now it's time to spend $ & enjoy the frustrations of learning new stuff.Any & all help/abuse appreciated.

[buzzard]

[D.W.]

3 win ? I think I meen 5 window, cant type too hot.found one in Yantis Tx. Gonna go see this weekend! Is the name really that offensive? Just tryin to be a LITTLE obnoxious. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

BTW, early ford body styles/production years a bit difficult for me to tell apart sometimes. I know, count on my fingers...1..2..3..4..5 windows.hints on what ford made when & how to spot the subtle diffs? how does the uninitiated always know when shopping? 28,29,30,31.....

Here's a good selection of pictures and models for the As

Model A Trader (http://www.modelatrader.com/photogallery/viewerphotos/viewgallerymenu.html)

Welcome to the board

[buzzard]

To me, the name is offensive. Is it really the first thing you want people you don't know to think about you.

Model A's only came in 5 windows. '32's had 3 and 5 windows. A's have visors above the window and 32's on don't.

Telling 28-29's from 30'31's gets a bit hard for me to describe. I could point out cowl differences, but can't think how to type it. I still can't tell the difference in a '30 and '31.

Welcome

Buzzard is right on.

5 window obvious

sport coupe 3 windows with cloth on the top (still not called a 3 window)

Roadster the top goes down

Cabriolet top goes down windows go up

Several 4 door sedan available standard and slant windshield
Briggs and Murray

2 door sedans are self explanatory

Vicky looks just like a tudor with a funky hump in the back

4 kinds of trucks roadster, "phone booth", regular and huge (AA)

Phaeton is like a sedan, but the top goes down. Came in 2 door and 4 door. The 2 doors are gorgeous in 31'.

Woodys are cool, but you'll never find one.

They made a town car too, sedan with no roof in the front.

Deliverys are cool, but very rare.

Sure I missed a few but that's basically the options.

They all look great with those new Iron Cross spinners from Wal Mart! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[willowbilly3]

Yantis!! Hey that's up by me, kinda. About 40 miles north or so. I never actually went there as you don't really go through Yantis on your way to any other towns. Welcome aboard, and yes the name might have been a teensy err in judgement.

[Otto138]

DIFUKER,

Welcome aboard!

[Dirty2]
